New contracts awarded to EISS
UNICEF UK and The Children’s Society recently commissioned EISS to produce a grid containing comparative data on a wide range of legal and policy information and social indicators across seven countries. Selected countries for the research were the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, California in the US, Germany, Poland and Italy. The grid is to be used to inform further focussed research into issues which are revealed as particularly interesting when countries are compared with the UK (eg contrasts, similarities). For further information on the report please contact Ben Gladstone.
